Any one have a Doppler?

Hi there! I had a baby Doppler sonoline b for my last two pregnancies but they were six and eight years ago. Anyone used one recently? Do you recommend it? What’s the brand? When did you hear the heartbeat yourself? My last one I could hear the HB myself around 9 weeks I think (May have been 10 but it was pretty early)

I have a sonoline b. With my daughter, I didn’t get the Doppler until 15 weeks so I used it immediately. My sister in law borrowed mine last year for my nephew and found him at 9 weeks. I’m 8 weeks tomorrow. I have an appointment today so I’ll get an idea of what side baby is on, although I think I know. I’m not sure when I’ll try this time. I don’t want to not find it and panic when baby is fine. At the same time, a mmc is equally scary to me.

Omg!! Awesome! I thought it could be pretty early. I think I was around 8-9 with my second becuase of where she implanted! Pretty sure my crappy insurance will not be offering a ton of alter sounds like I had with my other kids, so I’m going to just invest in one of these to ease my mind. I’m pretty sure I know what side the baby is on and to check really close to the pubic bone at this stage anyway. Thanks for the help. I won’t stress about not hearing a heartbeat until the babies like 12 or 13 weeks anyway. That will be fun to be able to find it before then, if I can.

Good luck!! If you need help, try checking out YouTube. But you want to look in the area of your pubic bone. You may need to press a bit and angle down as well, it just depends on your body. Move the wand very very slowly and really concentrate. I’ve found it easier if I use ear buds because it allows me to only focus on that.
